The order of the languages, in the add-on settings, is hardcoded in settings.xml, based on alphabetical order for those languages'
names written in english. But once localized, the languages names may change a lot, and then the list can be misordered.
For exemple, in french, "Korean" is written "Coreen", "Dutch" is called "Neerlandais", "Farsi" = "Persan", etc (+accents).

=> About issue 2., I wonder how it can be fixed, as I guess there's no dynamic mecanism for treating that XML file. Do you have an idea ?

Also it is important to say that I *never* unrar my movies because the only reason I use XBMC is just that: I don't need to unrar them. Subtitles were working fine, now they don't. File Size = 0 might have something to do with the fact I don't unrar the movies.

I don't know about Opensubtitles problem in your case as it is WORKING fine here. I have problem only with Subscene.com and I think it is due to the new site update which may require an update in the plugin.

I can tell you that opensubtitles works here on my iPhone so it might be an issue due to the way rar files are recognized , we will never know until the requirements from the first post are met. Do not c/p the log in a thread and post a full Debug Log to pastebin, it's not difficult

Installed XBMC subtitles on my OpenELEC box (Raspberry Pi), works fine so far with one exception: If I use it for series it only seems to search for the name of the series instead of the full episode name so the results I get are almost 100% unusable.

I tried several options but was not successful in changing that. Do I miss something here?

Like many of the non English native XBMC users from time to time I get errors in XBMC Subtitles script (as well as some others like youtube) related to strings encoding.

This last time has been a little weird. The script was working fine for some time. Then, with no update involved or any other noticeable change the script stoped working. At least most of it. Many of the servers failed always with some encoding related line. Things of the var.encode("utf-8") kind started to leave error traces in the log.

As many times, before posting here I like to find the root of the problem. I figured that the problem was caused because the program tries to encode to utf-8 something assuming it is an ascii string when in fact it is a latin1 or some other western Europe encoding variant.

For me, while the official solution comes along something of the kind var.decode("latin1").encode("utf8") usually solves the issue.

But this time I was intrigued since I was pretty sure I didn't change anything. I thought for a while that maybe the web pages changed encoding. But there were too many servers failing at the same time.

So finally I tried something I was sure wasn't going to solve anything. I deleted the subtitles add-on, then deleted the add-on config folder ( scripts.xbmc.subtitles inside userdata/addon_data), that is not deleted when uninstalling, and re-installed the add-on.

And it worked! I cannot explain but it happened like that.

So now I have no clues. Maybe something related to xbmc standard encoding for strings. Or maybe somehow a config option in the script forced it to use some folder with none ascii chars and the the problem comes...

Anyway I promise I'll keep looking into it and try to help.

I will experiment with non ascii folders and try to reproduce the problems and try to find the solution.

But for the time being maybe this solution works for some other folks...
